Office Emko 4,9

The unusual name of the desk “4.9” has its story: it reflects the creator Marius Valaitis’s desire to play with two concepts – “perfection” and “flaw”. It’s as if this piece of furniture is missing a tiny part to achieve a perfect score of 5. This desk is based on a very streamlined and functional design. It stands out particularly for its right-angled triangular top, which features two handle-less drawers on one side and a storage slot running the full length on the opposite side. Every detail has been designed with perfect precision, essential for a clean and functional style. The name “4.9” instead of “5” for this piece winks at the empty storage space, the “crack” – a “flaw” that is yet well thought out. The emptiness may not evoke beauty, certainly, but its function can.
